This year for the commercial design project students visited the Ivy Tower in South Bend. The Ivy Tower is the original Studebaker assembly plant which has been used as a warehouse for the past several years. Future plans include a data center, residential apartments, Sheet Metal shop, and a Science and Technology Center. Riley High School has been working with the Michiana Science and Technology Center inc. regarding possible designs. On February 21st students toured the building and talked with stakeholders about the project.
